Yes, we have an in with the Bureau of Prisons and have suggested a grueling reading program for Bernie starting with Proust and descending to Ayn Rand. It is possible that his attorney could plead that Rand is just too much punishment for a man Bernie's age. True sadists would, of course, have him read De Sade and if he acts out, French literary theory from the 60's on. Too horrible to contemplate; he does not deserve your pity.
The CIA used aural torture of its suspects. Why not have Matoff listen to old records of T.S. Eliot reading "The Hollow Man." That would fix his wagon. Everyday would seem as if it were 150 years. Bernie could be sent to the Modern Language Association meetings for the next 150 years or just one year...same difference.
Please add your suggestions of fit reading as punishment for transgressive behavior of the felonious kind....perhaps Genet?
